Given that the inception of the internet, criminals, non-condition actors and states have leveraged the inherent insecurities and vulnerabilities of cyberspace at an at any time-escalating amount and with at any time-far more damaging effect.

Notwithstanding the immense societal risks these actions present, a rising amount of states have fully embraced cyber operations as a staple of both statecraft and warfare—a actuality enjoying out to harmful effect in the Russia-Ukraine war.
At the identical time, until not too long ago states have remained relatively silent on their views of how international legislation regulates their cyber routines. That has started to alter, however, with an increasing number of states generating formal pronouncements of their opinio juris, both independently or by founded multilateral processes like the UNGGE and OEWG. While this is a positive development, it has also highlighted numerous disparate sights on critical issues and the difficulty in accomplishing nearly anything more than minimal clarity and consensus. What can we discern from these state pronouncements? What is the present condition of the legislation governing point out cyber activities, and in which is it headed?
